Abstract

ABSTRACT Tropical rainforest ecosystems that function as biodiversity pools had been undermined because of anthropogenic activities. Research has shown that protected areas (PAs) have become the first safeguard for biodiversity. However, how to measure the effectiveness of PAs remains unclear. We present spatiotemporal changes within the PAs and non-PAs in the Leuser Ecosystem, which is one of the significant global landscapes, using intensity analysis during two time periods and propensity score matching to investigate the effectiveness of PAs. We classified land cover using machine learning based on remotely sensed data. Our results revealed the effectiveness of PAs compared with non-PAs. The new conservation intervention after 2008 resulted in the deacceleration of deforestation from 2000–2010 to 2010–2020. In addition, PAs can reduce deforestation two times more effectively than non-PAs. Therefore, PAs and good governance within the Leuser Ecosystem are crucial in maintaining the natural ecosystem to address global conservation targets.

保护区减缓了印度尼西亚洛伊泽生态系统对热带雨林的干扰

作为生物多样性库的热带雨林生态系统由于人类活动而遭到破坏。研究表明，保护区已成为生物多样性的第一保障。然而，如何衡量PAs的有效性仍不清楚。本文以全球重要景观之一的Leuser生态系统为研究对象，通过两个时间段的强度分析和倾向得分匹配，对保护区和非保护区的时空变化进行了研究。我们使用基于遥感数据的机器学习对土地覆盖进行分类。我们的结果揭示了PAs与非PAs的有效性。2008年后新的保护干预导致2000-2010年至2010-2020年森林砍伐速度减慢。此外，保护区减少森林砍伐的效率是非保护区的两倍。因此，Leuser生态系统内的保护区和良好治理对于维持自然生态系统以实现全球保护目标至关重要。
